So double the retail price for the oil then, that’s about par for most dealers.
I’ve always supplied my own oil for BMW and Audi, d OPC allow this?
As an aside am I right in thinking Mobil 1 A40 is the correct grade for Gen I petrol S?

My Gen2 is running C20 0w20 which is stickered on the car. I would expect the Gen3 to also be using the same but it seems some are using C30.

Just to clarify, the 2.9 engine requires 8 litres of C30 0-30 Mobil oil.

Early Gen 2 S 's were stickered C30. However, My OPC puts C20 into it. The C bit matters far more than the 20 or 30 bit.

Just topped my 2022 S up with above, ordered Mobil 1 from Halfords and on website it stated it was the wrong oil! 😳

It's possible that the de-rated 2.9 engine is different although I don't see why, the sticker under the bonnet tell what lubricant is required

The Gen 2 S had a 3L engine. The 2.9L engine came in with the Gen 2 GTS and Turbo.
